maybe we could apply Occam's razor to ideas about the soul
so instead of the Aristotelian belief that souls are either vegetative, sensitive or rational, we could simply use "soul" to mean "mind"
and instead of saying that bodies, souls and spirits exist, we say that only bodies and souls exist (with "soul" being interchangeable with "spirit")
I think it is better to remove any unnecessary complexity whenever we try to understand things
your thoughts ???
